Healthy Chocolate Fudge Brownie Recipe
For best results, bake a batch of brownies the day or night before.
These are the type of rich tasting brownies that will also make an excellent dessert, served simply
with a cake fork, or with a dollop of creme fraiche.
This brownie recipe is also gluten free, perfect for anyone on a wheat free diet.
When fresh, they have a tendency to be very crumbly, but are perfect for eating the next day, if you can
wait!
